A Christmas Celebration

The chill of winter cannot stop staff and volunteers from sharing the joys of the holiday season with the hundreds of visitors who have made this annual holiday event a must. Warm hearth fires, simple but delicious food, period appropriate music, and piping hot cider are but a few of the many treats awaiting our guests. Drop by the Blacksmith's Shop as he handcrafts some last minute items. A special appearance by Belsnickel will thrill the children as they are rewarded with either candy of a lump of coal. The simple beauty of candlelit rooms and a roaring fire transport us back to a simpler time. Join us and usher in your holiday in a most unique way! $7 Adult admission, $4 children, Under 5 free. 816-229-8980 for information.
